WPPSEF Supports PEC’s 2017 Deep Decarbonization Conference

November 18, 2016

Deep decarbonization focuses on cutting greenhouse gas emissions by 80% or greater by mid-century, which is in line with what the world’s top scientists recommend,” explains Lindsay Baxter, Program Manager for Energy and Climate at PEC. “This conference will explore why such a target is important and how Pennsylvania might get there in a way that balances environmental, economic, and equity impacts.”

The conference will explore four potential paths to decarbonizing the state’s power sector: renewable energy, nuclear power, energy efficiency, and carbon capture and storage.
